[GIS] Where is plug-in “Color Ramp Manager”

color rampqgisqgis-plugins

I am following a tutorial on color-relief hillshades (found here: https://ieqgis.wordpress.com/2015/04/04/create-great-looking-topographic-maps-in-qgis-2/ )

The post is dated 2015-04-04, so – not that old.

The author says "superior colour ramps can be downloaded using Etienne Tourigny’s Color Ramp Manager (Plugins – Manage and Install Plugins)."

I cannot find this in the Plugin manager. It must be a current plugin, because there is a page for it at https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/colorrampmanager/ .

How can I find & install this plugin, please?

I am using QGIS 2.12 Lyon on a Mac running OS X 10.10.5.

You need to select "Show also experimental plugins" in the plugin manager settings, as the plugin is classified as experimental, as you can see below:

This feature has been implemented in QGIS 2.2 (release log). It's the checkbox right next to the color ramp:

I can't help on the details of QML and how to make colourmaps in QGIS, but I can give some info on the cpt-city gradients --- the "height information" is contained only in the CPT files, the values in the SVG files are normalised to be in the range from 0 -- 1. This is required by the SVG standard (and reflects the "graphic design" nature of SVG gradients). The CPT format is rather simple

z0 r g b z1 r g b
z1 r g b z2 r g b
 :

so you should be able to extract the values fairly easily (if tediously).

Some time ago, Etienne Tourigny created a "Color Ramp Manager" plugin for QGIS which contains a lot of cpt-city gradients, perhaps you could try that route first?
